ARB.
Over-engineered since 1975.
Australia's biggest name in 4×4 equipment: crash-tested bull bars, Air Lockers, onboard air, canopies and touring gear designed to survive the outback. We stock it because it does what it says on the crate, on trucks that actually leave the tarmac.

Chosen with intent
Why we choose ARB
Not every supplier makes the cut. ARB is on the shelf because fifty years of over-engineering for Australian conditions produces exactly what we want bolted to the trucks we support: proven, integrated and built to be used.
"We believe that products should be over-engineered and should integrate easily together." ARB design philosophy
1
Crash-tested engineering
ARB built the first airbag-compatible bull bar through real-world crash testing with Monash University. That standard of proof is what we ask of every brand we list, and ARB set it.
2
One integrated ecosystem
Compressors feed the Air Lockers, Base Racks carry the tents, canopies take the racks. One system designed around itself: fewer adapters, fewer bodges, fewer surprises.
3
Backed properly in the UK
Genuine stock through ARB's own UK distribution since 2021. Real lead times, clean warranties and parts support we can stand behind when you call us.

Before you order
ARB questions, answered
Can I build my ARB setup in stages?
Yes, and it's the smart way to do it. The ecosystem is designed to integrate: fit the compressor now and it feeds Air Lockers later, the Base Rack takes the tent when you're ready. We'll plan the order with you.
Can you fit ARB equipment for me?
Yes. Bull bars, compressors, canopies, racks and OME suspension can all be fitted in our workshop, or we'll ship it fast if you'd rather do the spanner work yourself.
Will a bull bar work with my parking sensors and airbags?
ARB designs vehicle-specific bars around sensors, cameras and airbag timing, with variants for different sensor counts. Tell us your exact spec and we'll confirm the right part number before you order.
What are lead times on order-in items?
Most ARB lines land with us within days from UK distribution. Larger items like canopies can take longer. We'll give you a real date before you commit, not after.
Fitment first
